What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own full-cycle hiring strategy, partner closely with clients, optimize sourcing pipelines using recruitment metrics, and lead teams delivering top-tier technical talent.

I’m a Senior Staffing & Talent Manager with 10+ years leading full-cycle recruitment and talent acquisition strategy across IT, Software Engineering, Product/Project Management, Construction, and Skilled Trades. I develop staffing approaches that match client needs—from technical phone screens and skill assessments to offer delivery, salary negotiations, and onboarding coordination.

I’m known for building strong client partnerships, managing high-volume requisitions, and using recruitment metrics to deliver data-driven insights to leadership. Whether placing entry-level through senior-level talent or leading diesel technician, foreman, superintendent, and construction project manager hiring, I focus on improving sourcing pipelines and raising both candidate and client satisfaction.
